Witnessed by the two noblemen and the head of the village, the Lu family handed over the silver with one hand and received the IOU with the other. After checking that the IOU was correct, they tore it up in front of everyone.

"Okay, from now on, my Lu family will no longer owe your Lei family any money!" Lu Ke'er said coldly, looking at Lei Qianggen and Lin Yunhua with a look that seemed to be both smiling and sarcastic, "Please remember this in the future, Auntie."

"What do you mean, little bitch? Woo..." Lin Yunhua was so angry that she blurted out a curse, but Lei Qiangen covered her mouth.

"Shut up, aren't you ashamed?" Lei Qianggen felt a little disappointed.

This woman's heart is devoted to him, but she just can't figure things out.

"Uncle Gen, please keep an eye on my aunt in the future and don't let her say any nonsense in front of the villagers. Our Lu family has paid off the debt owed to your family, and this house still belongs to our Lu family. Tell my aunt not to covet it anymore!" Lu Ke'er said this without any mercy, and even Lei Qianggen couldn't hold his face.

He didn't have the energy to argue any more. He hurriedly said goodbye to everyone present and dragged the cursing Lin Yunhua away from the Lu family.

"So this is what a real shrew in the countryside looks like." Yu Qianjing was amazed.

"Young Master, how can a peerless master like you stay in this small mountain village and live next to such ignorant and foolish village women?" Gao Yutang became very angry whenever he thought of the little doctor he admired being bullied by such stupid and foolish women every day.

Lu Keer smiled and said, "There are many kinds of people in the world. Whether it's a mountain village or a city, wherever there are people, there are disputes. Human nature is complicated. Some people are sincere and kind, while others are treacherous and hypocritical. Women like Ma Dani are not uncommon in the village. It's actually very easy to deal with such people."

"Oh?" Yu Qianjing raised his eyebrows with interest, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"Don't try to reason with them! Because there is no reason in their dictionary."

"Then what should we tell them?" Yu Qianjing asked with interest.

"It's about strength." Lu Ke'er said, "If he is arrogant, you have to be more arrogant than him! If he is rude, you have to be more rude than him! If he is cruel, you have to be more cruel than him! Over time, they will start to fear you from the bottom of their hearts and dare not provoke you easily."

"You little girl." The village chief Lei Zheng, who had been silent the whole time, looked at her with complicated eyes and sighed, "What you said does make some sense. But how can a person live without suffering any grievances in his life? Ke'er, being too strong will only lead to failure."

"Uncle Village Head, I understand. Thank you for your teachings." Lu Ke'er thanked him sincerely.

The fact that the village head said these words to her showed that he obviously treated her as one of his own.

The head of the village chatted with Yu Qianjing and Gao Yutang for a few more words. The more they talked, the more respectful he became to them.

She was not the ignorant woman who had never seen the world. After interacting with these two young masters, he could tell that they were of extraordinary status and were not people that ordinary people like them could offend. He also saw that Lu Ke'er was very casual and natural when interacting with these two young masters, and the two young masters were also very close and familiar with her, and protected her in every way.

The head of the village couldn't help but look up to Lu Ke'er even more.

The fact that Lu Ke'er is valued by the two noble gentlemen is a testament to her ability.

After returning home, the village head told his family members not to disrespect the Lu family, especially Lu Ke'er, in the future. This is a story for later.

Under the dark night, the mountains in the distance looked like dormant beasts, and the trees in the jungle on both sides of the road looked like ghosts with bared fangs and claws. The night wind whistled through the treetops, making a humming sound. The two lanterns in front of the carriage swayed in the wind. Under the dim light, the clattering of horse hooves broke the silence of the night in the mountains.

In the carriage on the return journey, Yu Qianjing and Gao Yutang were both silent.

They have been educated in etiquette and culture since childhood. It is hard to imagine how much effort Lu Keer had to put in to grow up in such a crude village and master sophisticated medical skills.

"Miss Lu has had a hard time." Yu Qianjing sighed faintly, "No wonder she usually acts so strong and not gentle at all."

"Yes. In a situation like Master's, if she wasn't strong, she would have been gnawed away by these bullying people in the mountains until not even a bone was left."

"That shrew said that Miss Lu's engagement had just been broken off?" Yu Qianjing then remembered what Lin Yunhua mentioned at the Lu family.

"The Su family must be blind!" Gao Yutang was very sure of this.

"It is said that he is a scholar."

"Based on this little knowledge, I doubt how he got the title of scholar."

"I remembered a few words that the kid from the Wei family said." Yu Qianjing suddenly said, "He said that instead of teaching in the Imperial College, it would be better to preach in the countryside. It is said that poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people, and he said that the people in the countryside need education more. It's a pity that the more remote the place, the fewer teachers who can read and teach."

"Wei family? Is it Prime Minister Wei's family?" Gao Yutang asked.

"Ah."

"Which kid said that?" Gao Yutang became interested.

Although the Gao family is not one of the four major families in the capital, they still have close contacts with the four major families in the capital.

"Who else could it be?" Yu Qianjing replied, "The newly crowned number one scholar six years ago, Wei Jinzhi."

"Oh, I have some impression of him." Gao Yutang said with a smile, "Is he the wicked son who was expelled from his home by Prime Minister Wei? He caused quite a stir in the capital at that time."

"I used to dislike Wei Jinzhi." Yu Qianjing also laughed, "He is the model of a good child in our parents' eyes. When I was a child, I was very naughty, and my father often compared me with Wei Jinzhi to teach me a lesson."

Gao Yutang looked at him sympathetically: "Then I am better than you."

Yu Qianjing's handsome face froze, and he glanced at him: "I forgot that you and Wei Jinzhi are the same type of people. You have been regarded as child prodigies since childhood."

As the two were talking, suddenly a sharp whistling sound was heard in the night wind.

With a "bang", there was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground, and the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Old Zhong, what happened?"

Just as Yu Qianjing finished speaking, a gust of cold wind blew, the car curtain was suddenly lifted, and a dark shadow rushed in, stretched out his hand and pointed a few times at Yu Qianjing.

"You..." Yu Qianjing's eyes widened with horror and his expression suddenly froze on his face, which was more beautiful than a woman's, and his body was unable to move.

Gao Yutang was horrified and just as he moved, a sharp dagger was pressed against his carotid artery.

"Don't move." The man panted softly, making Gao Yutang feel inexplicably familiar.

"Yuan Qifeng, you can't escape, why don't you surrender quickly?" A cold voice sounded outside the car.

"If you dare to take another step forward, the man in my hand will die!" Yuan Qifeng pouted and threatened loudly and viciously.

At this moment, Yuan Qifeng had a fire of evil in his chest.

It was so damn unlucky. I didn't know how I gave myself away and was recognized. I ran for most of the night but couldn't get rid of these mad dogs.

These people are all highly skilled in martial arts and extraordinary in skills. When did such a group of people appear in this small Jinji Town?

Faint moonlight shone in from the opened curtains. Gao Yutang's eyes fell on Yuan Qifeng's round, fat face, and he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Manager Yuan!"

At this moment, Shopkeeper Yuan was in a very sorry state. Two long scars were scratched on his usually smiling face, and blood oozed out, making him look a bit weird and scary under the moonlight.

"It's you? Mr. Gao!" Under the moonlight, Yuan Qifeng also recognized that the unlucky guy he was holding hostage was Gao Yutang from Xuanhu Pavilion, the person who recruited him into Xuanhu Pavilion.
